1.82 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A sovereign expression of sunlight captured in crystalline form, this transparent yellow sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka weighs 1.82 carat, and measures 6.86 by 6.90 by 4.68 mm, making it an ideal statement gem for a refined collector. Cut to a mixed brilliant profile, it offers an arresting interplay of pavilion depth and crown brilliance that scatters light with an invigorating warmth. The medium light color intensity bathes each facet in a gentle, golden hue that reads as both sophisticated and supremely wearable, while an excellent polish ensures every plane sings with mirror like clarity. Graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, its clarity allows an open window into the stone, a purity that affirms its natural origin and elevates its presence in any setting. Most importantly to the discerning buyer, this sapphire bears no enhancement, a rarity in yellow sapphires, and a testament to the integrity of its provenance from the storied gem fields of Sri Lanka.

Visualize this sapphire as the heart of a bespoke ring, the yellow center jewel embracing light like the first hour of dawn, encircled by a halo of near colorless diamonds to amplify its luminosity and to frame its warmth with icy contrast. In a solitaire setting with slender 18 carat yellow gold shoulders, the stone resonates with vintage glamour, evoking a timeless portrait of elegance. Alternatively imagine it set in a low profile platinum head, where its golden tone glows with subtle sophistication, and paired with delicate baguette diamonds along the band to lend architectural grace. For a modern heirloom, picture a tension mount that suspends the gem between two polished arcs, creating the illusion of the sapphire floating above the finger, each movement of the hand releasing new facets of light. The mixed brilliant cut rewards open settings that allow the pavilion to interact freely with ambient light, while a well executed prong setting preserves the gem, showing off its 6.86 by 6.90 by 4.68 mm proportions without overwhelming them.

When composing a custom piece that sings in harmonic color, consider complementary gemstones that both flatter and contrast, creating a dialogue that is rich and considered. Champagne or cognac diamonds introduce tonal continuity, lending depth without overwhelming the yellow core, while icy white diamonds provide a crisp foil that makes the sapphire read brighter, more palpable, a jewel that commands attention. For a vivid departure, deep green tsavorite garnets or emeralds amplify the sapphire through color theory, green opposite yellow on the color wheel, a pairing that feels both regal and refreshingly modern. Soft pink sapphires or rose cut morganites create a romantic palette, their blush tones tempering the yellow and producing a layered warmth ideal for a pendant or a cluster cocktail ring. If one prefers dramatic contrast, small cornflower blue sapphires or a trio of royal blue baguettes set on either shoulder bring an exquisite intensity that elevates the yellow stone into a couture composition. Consider also pairing with small accent stones of padparadscha sapphire to echo subtle orange undertones, creating a sunrise spectrum across the jewelry, each stone selected and placed with intention.
